More about this scene
To the north beyond Ingoldmells, and rather more genteel, is Chapel St Leonards, where my mother used to holiday in the 1930s. This view is taken from the sandy Roman Bank path looking to Chapel Point. The breakwaters have gone and the sea wall has been rebuilt, but most of the beach huts remain, with quaint names like Dolly's Den, Molly's and Sand Lea.

They were so good to us. I was about seven when we stopped going there, as we travelled to other places. The Johnson's Caravan housed the five of us. There was a chip shop, I remember ...see more
Pictures bring back many memories and I am sure that some are of my family since we were probably the largest family in the village. We lived on Sandy Lane during the war but often spent the night with Grandpa Stow behind the shop. Uncle George had the shop in Hogsthorpe and Uncle Frank the one at Chapel point. The war changed that of course with my Dad and uncles off to war. I remember well helping my Mother ...see more
Hi, This is a long shot I know; but does anyone know of a John Miles - will be aged between 36-40 now. About 20 years ago he used to live at Sea Bank Cottage, Sea Bank Lane but moved, and we lost contact. All I know is the above, and that he used to work in an arcade in Ingoldmells called 'Tickled Pink' then worked for Furness Plumbing & Heating in Skegness on a YT scheme.
